Kid-Free-Weekend-Swap
Even to this day, I can’t think about the good old days when all eight of us were living under one roof without remembering those wonderful weekends when once a year we got to catch our breath just hanging out and being with each other. It was marvelous…even though most of our conversations were about…our kids. Go figure.
“The Secret” to a new beginning
Draw a line in the sand. As you cross over, swallow your pride and completely let go of the past. It’s time to become a control freak…a “control of your life” freak that is. Accept full responsibility for everything that happens to you from this moment on.
Your child’s well-being is yours to lose.
This family, regardless of its twisted nature, replaces the one missing at home. It provides a sense of value. The problem is obvious…her upside-down family provides upside-down values…as the proverbial snowball rolls along…growing out of control.
“Hard knock life”
At this tender age, the child’s entire world is embodied by the love, or lack of it, shown by his parents. Therefore if there’s a family problem, such as divorce, alcoholism, drug addiction, lack of love, or any other abuse, the buck stops squarely with the parents from that point forward…period, amen.
